RationalWiki - Whiny hugbox for spergs and a clusterfuck of neverending drama on a rapidly declining website.

It was originally a response to and parody of conservalardpedia by Andrew Schlafly, and mostly focused on fundies and creationist type shit, with some general skeptic stuff as well. It was reasonably okay as a reference for that but now, much like ED, most of the early stuff it was known for is about people who are all but completely irrelevant now, and sunk into just being nonstop SJW bullshit and lies, like the goobergrape article that is even more lie-filled than the actual Wikipedo one.

This does remind me, what does Andy Sclhafly do these days? He was rightfully a mockworthy character because the only reason he was of any real prominence was coming out of the vagina of the queen tradwife of Phyllis Schlafly.

Nothing entertaining and very little in general: He took over his mother's column after she died in 2016 but it was only published once /month and stopped altogether about a half-year ago. By the same token he still represents the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons (don't let the name fool you, it's a conservative activist group with . . .creative ideas on medicine) but his appearances in court are infrequent and mostly just amicus briefs. Here is a link to a CourtListener search for Attorney Name = Schlafly if you are interested.

Before that, all I can find in recent history is a lawsuit against Eagle Forum (the conservative group his mother founded) in which he unsuccessfully argued the proceeds from his mother's life insurance should be paid to individual members of Eagle Forum, rather than the Eagle Forum corporate account, on the grounds that Eagle Forum's board was so fractured and dysfunctional that it did not represent the members anymore. Here is a Circuit Court ruling summarizing and dismissing the claims while here is a newspaper article covering the suit. Considering how Eagle Forum refused to host Andy's column and renamed its successor to Phyllis' column, it looks like he was pushed out after her death and the suit was (at least partially) an attempt to punish them for it.


Edit to Add: Based on the article it looks like the suit was an attempt to either get himself back onto Eagle Forum's board after they removed him or punish it for getting rid of him. Both of these square with Eagle Forum's decision to replace Phyllis' column rather than host Andy's continuation of it.

Edit x2: These articles show there was also a lawsuit between the Schlafly siblings over their mother's estate - Andy's sister Anne sued him for allegedly tampering with her inheritance. Considering how she took control of Eagle Forum and removed Andy from the board, it's pretty clear who won in the end.

Lmao what a faggot. It is still ironic that CP (you know conservapedia) is probably more relevant now than RatWiki. That's not a compliment to CP, it's an insult to RatWiki.

Why does this wiki even exist?
Wikipedia has a leftist bias why make a science-only version that's even shittier. Also they still use secondary sources over primary sources most of the time (like wikipedia) so you can't even say that they are more credible.

Yeah exactly, there’s really no point to the wiki other than to basically be a euphoric atheist’s version of Encyclopedia Dramatica. I’ll say that they at least seem to understand the backgrounds of the concepts they talk about on there and the basics of them but a lot of the time the explanations they give fall extremely short

On this subject has Schlafly or whoever owns RatWiki explained why he bothers keeping the site up? Even if the hosting bills are modest we are talking about a site so irrelevant that even trolls/a-logs don't care anymore.

Imagine being this obsessed LMAO.
 
I’m not masochistic enough to read their article about Biden. I can only assume that they praise him and attempt to rationalize his decision to lose the war in Afghanistan.

Nah, I'll go a little step further by saying then it's both a compliment to CP and an insult to RatWiki. :story:

This fundraiser is really sad. It's been up for at least a day or two, and no one has donated even a dollar. How many people still visit the site?

What does 'Oregon Plan' mean here? I've never heard of Oregon being an unusually good place for webhosting or just cheap in general if the webmaster wants to live there off RW donations.

Maybe David Gerard should have bought a bitcoin or two back in 2011 instead of spending years writing hitpieces about it. Just as a joke, ya know. Would've cost him maybe a dollar or two. Oops!

They chased off all the actual rational people, you know, the ones with money, in favor of tranny faggots and retards and SJWs.

Talk about a big oopsie, will they refuse money if it came from Elon Musk?

Good question, we could wonder if Encyclopedia Dramatica received more visitors than Rationalwiki? :story:

The Rational Media Foundation page is filled with a bunch of drama:

If someone wants to do a deep dive of the wiki page above it might be worth it, I don't really have much interest in the Rational Wiki personally but there's lots of details there.
